About

4th gen Canadian. Winter? Should never have been invented, I hate it forever; even in the sweatiest part of the year, I still do not look fondly upon winter, no matter how pretty it is when the snow is fresh. Hockey? Second most boring sport in the world. Beer? Tastes weirdly like laundry detergent fumes. Though to be fair, I think all alcohol tastes like something gone rotten, so there's no point in asking my opinion on beer to begin with. And our national animals are the biggest dorks of the animal kingdom, though I find that funny. (Majestic eagle? Powerful bison or buffalo? Ha ha, no, those are for the US, where they take their dignity more seriously. In Canada we're all about dorky geese, beavers, moose and loons.) But seriously, I AM Canadian. I can even say it in French, look: Je suis Canadienne! All evidence the contrary, I really am.

I'm not always polite, though I do try. It's hard work, sometimes!

Gamer, but in limited fashion. I love the Bokujo Mongatari series, at least since ANB, because I like building homes and gardens for myself so much that when I can't do it physically, I want to do it digitally. My biggest love though is story-driven games like the Trails series and the Tales of games. (And Xenoblade!) I also have to find my games visually appealing or I can't get into them, which is unfortunate, as it really limits me. Sadly, I cannot stand pixel art even if it is accompanied by an amazing story. It takes me back to 1990, and not in a way I enjoy. This makes the indie gaming scene one I don't dabble in much.

Crafter. I'd probably try anything once, when it comes to arts and crafts. Also been a writer and photographer for 29-30 years in one case and about 25 in the other, but even if I were good enough to be a professional (which I'm not) that would kill any fun in it, so they're just hobbies.

Gardener because I grew up in a family of farmers. Cyclist because nature gave me big lungs AND big quads, and a love of being alone.

Silly person because I have two silly sisters and they are contagious, but too cute to quarantine.
